To be fair, I wouldn’t have funded Star Wars either. As movies go, its
success is inexplicable to anyone outside the fandom. It’s a good movie,
but is it as good as the success it’s had would imply it is? Not by a long
shot. It’s clearly not a bad movie, as its done incredibly well, but
looking at it from an investor standpoint, it was a massive gamble. It
wasn’t particularly original, it wasn’t particularly innovative, but it
